Needs Work

Communication with host was good, but the place lacked necessities like a spatula, toaster or working broiler. Way too much furniture and dust.

2/10 Terrible

Mike S.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The property is run down and in need of repair. It was not accurately represented in its VRBO listing. It lacked basic and essential amenities, especially for a 6 bedroom / sleeping 10 listing. Water pressure was unbearably low. In the middle of my short shower, the water flow spontaneously reduced to a trickle. After 1-2 mins of this, the water flow returned to its previous stronger but weakened state along with a loud screeching sound from the pipes which lasted 3-4 mins. The beds are uncomfortable, the mattresses are mushy & sagging and appear as to be as old as the house. No A/C and windows painted shut and those that open have worn and dirty screens. We were so uncomfortable and inconvenienced by the property that we checked out early and got a hotel room for our final night. Such an awful experience! Shocking that VRBO would have such a poor quality listing on its site. I request a refund.
